The moment Edward saw cilantro, he reflexively darted aside.

Chen Xiao, on the other hand, shoved the cilantro right under Pete’s nose.

Old Pete stared blankly at Chen Xiao, his face contorted with anger. "Shit, what the hell are you doing, you bastard?"

Old Pete wasn't the only one bewildered; everyone in the audience looked equally puzzled, unsure of Chen Xiao's actions.

However, they didn't have to wait long before witnessing Old Pete's transformation firsthand.

They watched as Old Pete suddenly went berserk, letting out a狂躁 (kuangzao) roar, baring long fangs, and his eyes turning blood red!

A demon! This must be a demon!

Fear arose spontaneously in everyone's hearts, and the venue descended into chaos.

But even in fear, they didn't forget to press the shutters on their cameras and camcorders, wanting to record this insane scene.

Everything happened in a flash, and an instant later, Old Pete lunged at Chen Xiao like a beast.

Naturally, Chen Xiao wouldn't be polite to this old thing, knocking him to the ground with a punch and pinning him down.

At the same time, members of the Po Xie Si (Demon Subduing Division) began to enter!

This time, the Po Xie Si mobilized a full hundred members.

Due to the vampire invasion incident, Ren Songfei had transferred many teammates from outside to support the work in Jiang City.

Seeing this scene, Edward's eyes blazed with anger, and he asked Chen Xiao, enunciating each word, "Just who are you?"

Chen Xiao smiled disdainfully, "You should ask Ava and Schmidt about that. Perhaps you'll be seeing each other soon..."

Ren Songfei walked up to Edward and directly pulled out the Eight-Door Great Lock.

"Mr. Edward, I am representing the Huaguo (China) government to arrest you. Please come with me to cooperate with the investigation!"

After speaking, Ren Songfei handcuffed Edward with the Eight-Door Great Lock.

Throughout the entire process, Chen Xiao warily watched Edward, alert for him to lash out and injure someone.

However, to Chen Xiao's surprise, Edward showed no signs of resistance, behaving obediently and cooperatively.

Chen Xiao guessed that perhaps it was because of that 'Vampire Convention' that Edward still had some reservations in public, especially in front of so many reporters.

As for Old Pete, although he had been turned into a vampire, perhaps due to the injection method, his abilities were weak.

Although he also had two fangs, both his strength and speed were far inferior to Chi Hao's.

Even though he struggled desperately, he was firmly controlled by the two Po Xie Si members who were escorting him.

A perfectly good press conference had now turned into a farce.

The reporters and experts in attendance all felt like they had been played.

Of course, there was also shock and fear...

The bearded man looked despondent, muttering, "How could it turn out like this..."

The pimply youth next to him sneered, "This is consistent with your American style. You always raise the banner of solving problems, creating bigger troubles, all for your own interests..."

The bearded man's face turned red with anger, but faced with irrefutable evidence, he didn't know how to refute.

Soon, images and videos from the press conference swept across social media worldwide.

Especially the video of Old Pete's transformation, any single video garnered hundreds of millions of views.

As the event spread, the public seemed to have lifted a corner of this mysterious world's iceberg, fear was spreading, everyone was on edge, and all sorts of conspiracy theories emerged.

However, only half an hour later, official media came out to explain that it was just a joke everyone, vampires were fake, just hired actors.

The global president of Kangxing Corporation even personally released a video to deny the rumors, saying that there was no presidential assistant named Edward in the company at all.

Even so, the storm caused by this matter continued to ferment and spread...

But those were all stories for later. For Chen Xiao, the top priority was to help Song Anran recover first.

He took Song Anran to the clinic at Jiang City Medical College and examined her body in private.

Edward's power was extraordinary. Chen Xiao investigated for a long time but couldn't figure out what he had done to Song Anran.

Whether he checked her pulse or used his divine sense to probe, he didn't find anything abnormal about Song Anran's body.

Finally, Chen Xiao had a flash of inspiration and waved cilantro under Song Anran's nose, which finally woke her up.

"Chen Xiao, how did I get here? Wasn't I at the press conference?"

Song Anran looked blank. She had no memory of the second half of the press conference, as if she had fallen asleep, standing next to Edward.

Chen Xiao briefly told Song Anran what had happened, and Song Anran was terrified after listening.

"Heavens, it's a good thing you were there, I almost fell for Edward's trick!"

Song Anran was still frightened, and said with a wry smile, "I really didn't expect Kangxing Corporation to do such a thing. It's the second largest pharmaceutical company in the world, after all. How can it have no sense of social responsibility?"

Chen Xiao sneered. Social responsibility was bullshit. This company was originally controlled by that group of bloodsucking worms.

"It's a pity, you were originally going to be on the front pages of the world today, but it's all been ruined by that vampire!"

Chen Xiao said with indignation.

But Song Anran chuckled and said happily, "It doesn't matter. I was a little worried that the sensation would be too great, making it impossible for me to carry out the next stage of research properly. This is just right. The results have been announced, and it won't affect my next work. It's the best of both worlds."

Hearing Song Anran say this, Chen Xiao admired her greatly.

Life in this world revolves around fame and fortune!

There are many who claim to have seen through fame and fortune, but how many can truly break free?

In fact, the vast majority of people in the world never have the opportunity to experience real fame and fortune in their entire lives.

Chen Xiao suddenly asked, "By the way, are you really planning to locate the research institute in Jiang City?"

If this matter came to fruition, it would definitely be good news for Jiang City.

"Of course. I already announced it at the press conference. So many people heard it and saw it. I can't go back on my word, can I?"

Song Anran suddenly pouted, "What, you don't want me to stay in Jiang City?"

Song Anran's expression, with a hint of coquetry in her anger, was simply full of charm!

No man could resist it, and Chen Xiao was a man!

"No, no, how could I not want you to? I wish I could see you every day..."

Carelessly, Chen Xiao blurted out the truth.

Song Anran paused slightly, her beautiful eyes moving over Chen Xiao's body.

"Is what you said true?"

Chen Xiao was a little flustered. He wished he could slap himself twice. Even if it was true, could such words be said casually?

Have you forgotten that you already have Li Ziqing? You even have Wu Fei'er... What are you going to do now?

Fortunately, the phone rang at this moment, saving him...
